Hello Dr Rynne, Thank you for this service. 10 years ago my Dentist recommended an oral surgeon to me. He was to replace a front tooth that had died over a period of years. Unfortunately he injured the nerves in the area during his procedure. I have suffered for 10 yrs. with many symptoms of nerve damage including burning, fullness & heavy pressure in the area, a feeling of heaviness & burning & swelling of my tongue which at times makes it hard to pronounce words. There is so much more. I have seen many dentists, physicians, neurologists & a neurosurgeon. The only thing offered to me has been medication. I am 84 yrs old, very active, walk & exercise 3 or more times a week and sing with an international chorus of women. Yes, my singing has definitely been compromised by the pain & discomfort. I have been on Neurontin for approximately 2yrs and can only tolerate 700mg daily because of the effects it has on my focus & balance. The relief is minimal. Can you offer me any hope for relief? The only other medication I am on is Synthroid 0.1mg.
